Tu 7/12/22- Xfinity Appointment/Walmart/Shoe Carnival

 Tu 7/12/22- Xfinity : 130pm

705am (2). 930am (1). 1pm (a few hits pre-roll). 345pm (1). 630pm (1). 

Up 530am: Sunny with temps to lower 80's.

Borrowed 'PURE' from Hoopla to see more by Alicia Vikander.

Watched 'Pure' (Hoopla). Another terrific art film. This one is about a young girl with nothing going for her until she hears her first Mozart concert. She gets a temp job at the concert hall and has an affair with the conductor and mayhem ensues; with the brilliant Alicia Vikander...'Courage is life's only measure'-Soren Kierkegaard. This quotation seems to be a theme of the film, but isn't murder a little too far? I loved this one and gave it '5 Stars'.

905am: PC is 'Off' and going to hit the sidewalks before the appointment with Xfinity at 130pm. 

940am:  Parkview, Country Club, Laurel,  Outer Park, Lincoln,  Leland,  Walnut, Wash.Pk southside and across Park, up the hill, Parkview, Kenyon, and down to 940...TWU HOURS...BAND OF GYPSIES; JACK DEJOHNETTE, KEITH JARRET, PAT MATHENY.

115pm:  To Xfinity...the young black guy was talking to another clerk about how much he would make (personally) on his last interaction. They get rewarded if they 'up-sell'?  I agreed to a new plan and I thought I was on the '$45 Unlimited' but I wasn't. I still don't get it and I'm not satisfied with the interaction. I made an appointment for next Tuesday to have the system changed to Xfinity and will expect a tech between 10am and noon/ Walmart- I bought a bag of dry cat food and a twelve pack of 9 Lives, some wrapping paper, and a lengthy discussion with a clerk about an 'external optical reader' and they didn't have one, and he didn't know what he was talking about. I felt like I was being punked / Shoe Carnival- Two pairs of running/walking shoes.

Home to read more of the bio of Nelson Algren. 

350pm:  TWO MILES AT 4..1 PACE AND 1.50 SLANT and began a TUESDAYS WITH STORIES'.

440pm: In the tub with NELSON ALGREN bio and listening to DELVON LAMARR ORGAN TRIO. 

Watched 'THE DOORS' (Amazon Prime).  Val Kilmer delivers an unsettling yet accurate performance of Jim Morrison as the 'pied piper/drunken mystic' of  the Swinging Sixties, yet the tone of the film is frenzied and plays to every cliche about rock n roll excess; with Val Kilmer, Meg Ryan, Kyle Maclachlan, Frank Whaley, Kevin Dillon, Michael Madsen, and Billy Idol. Directed by Oliver Stone.

Will watch the last forty minutes tomorrow. 

***Run the updates!

***Add the correct time to the calendar for the appointment on Tuesday; 10am-12pm.

Fr 10/3/25- Brandenburgs/ Gummy

 Fr 10/3/25- Brandenburgs/ Gummy  735am (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 820am (3 hits-B: Citrus Mac).  1215pm [I took 1/3 of 'VIIA' 100 mg: 33 mg total].(1-LB: Citrus Mac).  240pm (4 hits-B: Diablo's Hearse). 435pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 530pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 815pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse).  Up 630am: Rain was "in the area", but missed Westview and more sunny & unseasonably warm weather with temps close to 90. {No rain in a long time & it's getting crunchy}  About 730am several 'tree trimming' trucks arrived and parked just down the street. I first thought that they were for the house across the street, but it looks like the action is farther down the road. They disappeared by 10am and I think they were at the house 'with the indoor whirlpool'.  Watched 'UPGRADE' (Netflix).  A very fine 'Dystopian/ SciFi' genre film about a couple in Melbourne ("in a not too distant future") who are in their 'auto...

Th 10/2/25- WYNK

 Th 10/2/25 8am (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 10am (1-B: Citrus Mac). 1220pm (2-LB: Citrus Mac). 535pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 810pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse).  Up 715am: {took a dump at 4am}. Still unseasonably warm with a mix of sun & clouds. Watched 'MAGPIE' (Kanopy- borrowed 2 days ago).  It's basically a tale of 'Adultery & Revenge' although this isn't made clear until the last few minutes of the film. A wealthy couple live in a modern villa in the English countryside. He's a successful author, she is a housewife (she used to be in publishing) and their young daughter is co-starring in a big budget film that's being shot  near their home. Dad falls 'in lust' for the female star of the film, but his wife is several moves ahead. "69" Metascore and I would boost that to "80". From RogerEbert.com: "In its style, “Magpie” is a marital thriller with noir trappings galore, including an almost ridiculously convoluted (y...

Tu 9/30/25- Flu Shot/ COVID/ Gummy

 Tu 9/30/35- Flu Shot/ COVID/ Gummy 730am (1-LB: a mix of Diablo's & Citrus). 815am (1/2-B: Diablo's Hearse). 1255pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 1pm [I took 1/2 'DIET SMOKE]. 250pm (1/2-B: Citrus Mac). 435pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 535pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 810pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac).  Up 635am: Sunny & unseasonably warm with temps almost to 90. Borrowed 'HOLY COW' and 'TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH' from Hoopla to meet my quota for September. Watched 'HOLY COW' (Hoopla). A troubled teen and his young sister try to make a go of it on their farmstead dairy after their father dies. It's got a strange tone and far from an average 'coming of age' tale. Set in far eastern France near the rural villages of Pimorin and Orgelet which are about 75 miles west of Geneva, Switzerland. "83" Metascore and I would go to "91".  Watched 'BEYOND TRAINSPOTTING: The World Of Irvine Welsh' (Kanopy). An excellent profile of t...
